.txt file preview not working on macOS Monterey #139

The app is working great with all other supported file types, but when I preview .txt or .text files, I still see the native Quick Look interface popping up. I am using macOS Monterey 12.1

I think Apple has added the .txt format among those that cannot be handled.

Hi Syntax Highlight is best! Thanks so much.

How can'I fix ?

$ mdls -name kMDItemContentType -name kMDItemContentTypeTree test.txt
kMDItemContentType     = "public.plain-text"
kMDItemContentTypeTree = (
    "public.plain-text",
    "public.text",
    "public.data",
    "public.item",
    "public.content"
)

Unfortunately, nothing can be done. The application is already configured to manage the public.plain-text format. But the operating system does not allow you to customize the preview of .txt files.

thanks for the answer. Maybe in the next MacOS update apple allow that. 👍 @sbarex

Ah, that explains it, thanks. I was trying all kinds of tricks to get it right, but it's simply impossible. Perhaps you could update the Readme.md, section "File format management".
